Ep. 113 | A Thousand Songs on One Soap Bar

About this episode

This episode kicks off with a take on marketing — not as a weakness, but as something Tim believes he could excel at, if only he had a product worth pushing. That launches a long-form, semi-improvised dive into the mind of Steve Jobs: not just the public myth, but the obsessive, detail-driven version that cared as much about keynotes as he did about hardware. There's admiration here, but also satire, with a focus on why Jobs' ideas actually landed — and how most people completely miss the point.

From there, the monologue expands into a chaotic but intentional meditation on logic, genius, and cultural mythmaking. Van Gogh becomes a case study in misunderstood brilliance. Jesus is examined as a PR story with missing context. Even Trump shows up, framed as someone who operates (however messily) according to internal logic. It’s loose, fast, and unapologetically nonlinear — but underneath the tangents, there’s a steady argument about what it means to speak truth in public. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/s6NEM2q7Pio
